What’s happening? We have invited a variety of creative arts therapists to help us spend the day together exploring the theme of Rhythm in Connection. We expect the workshops to be largely experiential as we discover how each of our modalities encourages building connection and community.

How do I register? Start by sending an email to newjerseymusictherapy@gmail.com, telling us your name, your credentials (or your full-time student status) and your preferred email address. We’ll send you a note back letting you know where to send payment.

Can I register on the day of the conference? Yes! But it will be cheaper if you send an email and register before 3/23/19.

Will I be able to get CMTE credits? Yes, but you will have to claim them as part of the Umbrella Groupings option (see pp. 17 and 18 of the CBMT Recertification Manual, which you can find here). We will provide you with a Certificate of Attendance only, as we are not pre-approved for CMTE credits.

What information do I need to get CMTE credit using the Umbrella Groupings route? Here are the elements you’ll need (as copied from the CBMT Recertification Manual, pp. 17-18): Required Documentation for Umbrella Groupings1) The activity title2) The name of the activity sponsor3) The name of the instructor4) A written summary of the learning experience and its application to music therapy practice and the CBMT Board Certification Domains (approximately 250 words)5) A copy of the brochure or syllabus for the activity6) A copy of the certificate or proof of attendance (signature of presenter/presider)7) The number of contact hours in the activity or program8) Umbrella groupings must list the unifying topic, session titles, date(s), and instructor(s) for each session and include items 1 – 7NOTE: Only one summary is required for umbrella grouping. The summary should tie together all of the sessions listed under an umbrella grouping. The information gained in the sessions should be adequately expressed and the learning occurred should be apparent.
